Cupcake, Columbia, SC - Take 3

OK, my hungry little readers, we did it again. We nabbed some more cupcakes from Cupcake and tried a few new flavors for you. I am happy to report that this trip, my friend, this report will definitely save you some time and money: We found a cupcake we don't like. No point wasting your hard earned money.
-
It's that innocent looking one down in the bottom right-hand corner. A pleasant little chocolate cupcake with a hideous peanut butter frosting and a delightful little Reese's peanut butter cup adorning the top. This poor thing. When we had completed our taste-tests, 30% of this cupcake remained on the table uneaten. Nobody wanted to finish it off.

If you read no further, Read This: Chocolate Chip Cheesecake is to die for. 2nd only to the unforgettable Turtle, which holds the #1 reigning title.
-
Today's Flavors: Chocolate Chip Cheesecake, Red Velvet, Lemon Blueberry and Chocolate Peanut Butter (which is probably really fine if you like peanut butter a lot).
-
I was looking forward to the Blueberry Lemon for awhile now and was so disappointed, but I should have known it wouldn't be my fave: I don't like fruity cupcakes.
-

Fruity muffins: Good.
Fruity Cupcakes: Bad.

So here's Bob, we dragged him into this cupcake taste test because it was Tom's birthday and he said Bob had to do whatever Tom wanted him to do. Drum roll, please. The results:
-

I am so sorry that you are forced to eat those cupcakes in order to let us peons know which ones to buy (if we had one of those places near us which we don't). Maybe you could review one of my donut muffins (which I make cupcake size) the next time you come up in the Binghamton area.

Dear Peon, Let me know when it's NOT raining and I'll be right up.

Hey, watch it Val!

It's not raining so we will expect you in 15 hours.

I think Driftwood is jealous. Though you and he would be in total agreement on anything with peanut butter and chocolate combined. He loves each of those things all by themselves--hates them together.

PS --His donut muffins are fabulous--taste very much like a cruller and muffin all rolled into one. He's making them for a bake sale this week at the little old library we frequent if you want to wait until Saturday to come up.

Poof said...

See, Fern, I knew it. It's always raining up there. Man, I missed it.

Jen, I've missed you! We need a cupcake run. They are coming out with a new flavor schedule for Summer, we'll have to pick a day and go.
